Homeless & Indigent Population Health Outreach Project

HIPHOP Community Health Initiative is a community service student-run program through collaborative community partnerships and supervised by Robert Wood Johnson Medical School that provides students with the opportunity to take part in service-learning activities and get involved with the Greater New Brunswick area.

Our volunteer healthcare providers and student scribes at the HIPHOP Asylum Clinic assist with medical evaluations and documentation in support of asylum applications for victims of persecution from countries across the globe. Asylum seekers with legal representation and forensic medical affidavits are more than twice more likely to be granted asylum.

At the Promise Clinic, our student-doctors provide free primary care services to the clients of Elijah's Promise Soup Kitchen in New Brunswick. Our mission is to help empower our patients, many of whom are uninsured and have chronic conditions such as hypertension and diabetes, to live healthier lives.
